Mangalore, Mar 11: "The Kalladka incident occurred in the presence of district-in-charge minister B Ramantha Rai. Hence, the chief minister and the home minister should ask him to resign," said state BJP leader and former deputy chief minister K S Eshwarappa.  

He was addressing a press meet at the district BJP office on Tuesday March 11. He was referring the clashes that erupted between Sangh Parivar members and Congress party workers during a Congress harmony convention at Kalladka on March 8.

Eshwarappa further said, "Congress has been successful in creating panic and giving indirect warnings to the opposition through 'goondagiri' in this incident.  The convention for social harmony should have been organized by taking everyone into consideration but this was held for targeting Dr Prabakar Bhat."

"Despite knowing Kalladka is a sensitive area, no proper security was deployed. Police also failed to provide proper security to the people and arrested innocents. Under whose pressure are the police acting in this manner? The police barged into houses in Kalladka, while there were women inside and arrested innocents. Moreover, when the police arrested the criminals, they were let out within half-an-hour. Even the police were transferred for arresting the miscreants. What type of democracy is this?" he lambasted.

"We had been to a few houses in Kalladka and people there are fuming against the Congress. No one can accept this type of attitude. We had also visited the jail where innocents like tailors and coolies arrested in this incident are lodged. Moreover, already 307 IPC section is imposed on 25 youths."

"We demand a judicial probe monitored by a retired judge into this matter. Once the judicial probe is conducted, the truth will be out. If we have committed mistakes let them take action according to the law. People will come to know who was at fault. I am not favouring anyone. But judicial probe should be conducted into this matter," he added.

When a reporter asked about Janardhana Poojary’s challenge to BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi to contest the elections from Dakshina Kannada, Eshwarappa said, "Poojary’s influence can be seen in the rejection of Harsha Moily’s nomination. What capacity does Poojary have to compete with Modi?"

On Poojary’s dig at Modi's marital status , Eshwarappa said, "I respect Janardhana Poojary as he is a veteran politician but he should not involve in cheap politics by digging up someone’s personal matter."

On Yettinahole project, he said, "No political party can take a decision on this issue. The government should solve the problem by studying it carefully."

"Tomorrow, the party election committee will gather in Bangalore and the day after, the final list of candidates in the remaining six constituencies will be announced," he added.

On this occasion, BJP district president Pratap Simha Nayak and MP Nalin Kumar Kateel were present.

 

K S Eshwarappa visits arrested BJP activists at district jail
 
Earlier in the day, Eshwarappa visited Mangalore district jail and met the BJP activists who were arrested during the recent Kalladka clash.

Eshwarappa, who arrived in the city on Tuesday March 11, first visited the jail to meet the arrested BJP activists and later spoke to the jailor in his office.

However, when the media asked about his discussion with the jailor, he said that he would speak only at the press meet and proceeded to Kalladka to console the family members of those arrested and the victims of the clashes.
 
MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik, former minister B Nagaraj Shetty, state working member Srikar Prabhu, party office-bearers Sulochana G K Bhat, and Rajesh Ulepady were present.

It is a very normal place like Karkala, Moodbidri or Belman. Our honorable Dr. Prabhakara Bhat has made is sensitive. Please ask him to behave in a way that best suits a true doctor and not like a butcher. Don't try to attack the problem itself, but please attack the source of the problem!

    Eshwarappa is talking about Probe into Kalladka clash, but he never talks even a word about CBI probe in Ujire Saujanya murder Case which has been derailed by vested interests. Five months have passed since Karnataka CM & HM proclaimed that they have given the probe to CBI, but so far the CBI investigation has not started at all. Is it not the duty of the main Opposition to follow up such sensitive issues till it reaches logical end ?

    Harmony Only can bring Development & Prosperity, which will see all living happily & prosper rather than through quarrels & chaos these people want to enjoy Power & Loot the State & Country as shown by Yeddy in Karnataka.
    This joker wants a probe & wants Rai to resign even before the blame is proved.
    Did anybody resign when they were ruling Karnataka, despite proof of corruption?
    They said action only will be taken once they are pronounced guilty by the courts!
    Janardhana Reddy is still in BJP despite behind bars without getting bail for his crimes.
    They want alliance or want tainted to be back in their party. What a Party of Indifferences!
    The highest number of criminals are given tickets to contest election by both the main Parties.
    The CHOICE for people is to the less criminals & a few Honest amongst them.

    Eshwarappa asks for probe on Kalladka, the scene created by the BJP. Tell us Eshwarappa why there were no probes on church attacks, home stay incidents, valentine day attacks, placing the Pakistani flag by your cadres in North Karnataka on Independence Day and several other incidents of hate mongering. The rightful place for all your cadres is jail since you are not a civilised group and you want to create violence. Do not ask for probe, but ask your cadres to shed their ideology and join competitive politics in a civilised manner for a democratic living with tolerance and harmony. Creating communal discord and societal violence cannot take you for long. People are getting aware of your designs. Look at South Kanara during your five year regime and now. There is peace now in spite of the violence your cadres attempt create. Given your commitment to violence you need to derecognize as a political party

This entire episode is stage managed by BJP. There should be a probe.... The attitude of BJP of encouraging those who indulge in anti-social activities is not for our country. BJP should focus on providing equal and the right space for all religions.. Why can't they do it? Instead of organizaing Hindu Samaveshas, why can't they organize inter-religious samaveshas? Let the Bishop of Mangalore, Or the Mosque Heads come and grace them as well? BJP do not believe in the unity of this country.. Instead of this drama, they should do some good work. They will get some Punya from their Paap.

Everybody have rights to talk and all political parties have the right to organize the rally. Sangha Pariwaar is using some uneducated goons to attack on other's rights. Kalladka Bhatt can insult other religion but others cannot talk against Bhatt's attitude. Don't worry sanghis, one day everybody will fight against you.

All the party leaders to be strong enough to build the country in the right direction, then only leaders can make the difference in each region, whoever may be whatever party he's belongs to that can't be the plus pint for those who do wrong. Doing this way may be opposition may win but what will be next when he comes to power other opposition will do the same so where is judge where is the justice
